What to Look for in a Digital Business Card (and How azzapp Delivers)
01.09.2025
Your paper business card is probably in someone’s drawer — or worse, in the trash. Modern networking demands more: instant sharing, dynamic updates, and smarter ways to keep contacts alive. That’s where digital business cards step in.
But with so many apps out there, what should you really be looking for? Here are seven key factors that matter most — and how azzapp is designed to meet them.
1. Ease of Use & Sharing
Setting up a digital card should take minutes, not hours. And sharing it should feel natural — no extra apps, no technical hurdles.
With azzapp: You can share instantly via QR, link, AirDrop (iOS), email signature, or even save your card into Apple or Android Wallet. Recipients don’t need to install anything — and with the built-in ShareBack feature, they can easily send their details back to you. Every update you make is reflected instantly, ensuring your contacts always have the right details — without the hassle or expense of reprints.
2. Team Features
For companies, digital cards aren’t just about individuals — they’re about consistency, control, and visibility.
With azzapp: Admins can add and manage team members directly in the mobile app or through the browser-based User Management Platform, set permissions, unify branding, and access combined contact lists across the whole team. Built-in analytics provide managers with insight into how cards are shared and connections are made — turning networking into measurable value.
3. Customization & Branding
First impressions matter. Your digital card should showcase your brand, not just your name and number.
With azzapp: Users can create multiple personalized ContactCards (digital business cards), all linked to fully customizable Profiles — like a personal website that can include logos, brand colors, media, text sections, action buttons, and even social-media-style posts.
4. Contact Management
Sharing your details is only half the story — the real value is in capturing and keeping new contacts organized.
With azzapp: You can add new contacts by scanning paper business cards, importing from your phonebook, sharing directly with other azzapp users, entering them manually, or through ShareBack, which allows recipients to send their details back to you. Once added, contacts can be organized by name, by date of contact, or by the location where they were created. They can also be edited and exported to your native phone contact book whenever needed.
5. AI Integration (Scan & Enrichment)
Scanning contacts should go beyond capturing text — it should create rich, actionable profiles.
With azzapp: azzapp AI can scan business cards, event badges, and email signatures to quickly capture the essentials. It can also enrich any contact using publicly available online information — adding missing details like phone numbers, emails, job titles, companies, or birthday dates, and generating a short profile summary highlighting background and interests. Less manual work for you, and more meaningful context for every connection.
6. Privacy & Data Control
Your network is one of your most valuable assets, and you should always stay in control of it.
With azzapp: Data is handled in full compliance with GDPR. Users fully own their contacts, and azzapp never resells or shares information with third parties. Your connections remain private, secure, and completely under your control.
7. Pricing & Scalability
The right solution should be affordable for individuals and flexible enough to grow with your team.
With azzapp: Individuals can get started for free, while teams and businesses pay an industry-low price of just €1 per user/month (annual). On top of that, switching to digital saves the ongoing costs of printing and reprinting paper business cards — making azzapp not only more effective, but also more economical.
